2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Firenze Red

Defender Dash

I finally got around to installing my latest revision of my defender dashboard in my Puma 2.2

Here's a short youtube showing the install.

It's been covered on a couple of other threads about the Stinger Heigh10 and an Arduino Microcontroller.

It currently has the following features :

Clock
GPS Speed
GPS Position
Compass
Pitch and Roll
Temperatures (In and Out)
Type pressures (From internal or valve mounted sensors)
Parking Sensors (From wired bumper sensors)
Engine Data (Various OBD data)

I'm also working on a couple of new screens and some enhanced features.

Once I have done a bit of testing, I'll review whether I can offer it to others to install. This is the third revision so I'm fairly confident it is fairly robust. Any comments and suggestions welcome.

It looks like a very useful and nicely executed piece of kit. Looking forward to watching you develop it.

Thanks.

I've been working on a couple of new screens that are taking a bit longer than expect.

I'm just about to rebuild a version that has one central box for installation. That will mean I can potentially provide it to others to test out.

I'm also going to build various screen options :

1 - external display (what you see in the video)
2 - output to HDMI or AV to display on a double din head unit
3 - Replace one of the instrument cluster dials. I have a second cluster to try this.
4 - A 52mm gauge to replace the clock on the Puma or the clock in the instrument cluster on the TD5

Good progress 👍 looking forward to seeing the 52mm version for the TD5 dash !

I am planning on creating a few units for others to test out. I have a good plan to build the electronics into a central box to install in the cubby box or behind the dash. It can be configured to limit the electronics and screens to a particular feature set. Base features, Base + TPMS, Base + Parking, Base + Thermal, Base + TPMS/Parking/Thermal. I'm going to stop adding features now and aim to get it into a good state to provide a few units to others.

If you send me a PM I'll contact you when I think it's ready to try. I'll keep creating youtubes to track progress.

Looking good!

You have obviously had more time to develop your gauge than I have for working on mine.

I have a little round display that replaces the analogue clock. I have most of it working on the bench, just have to design a mount bracket for 3D printing.
